Pinnacle Negotiations
I heard the recent negotiations at Pinnacle did not go well. Basically management is stalling again...
Should I put my stuff in there?
Why doesn't the pilot group man up, and do what ASA did before they got their contract?

Although I'm not at Pinnacle I have to say that I have been impressed with their resolve to get a better contract installed. While I think the work rules / pay need improvement, I think they are on their way to a better days....The pilot group seems to be together on this one too...which in this day and time is a breath of fresh air.

It's because we're standing up for what we think is right!!! To me, that is manning up.
Maybe you should go to ASA then if you think things are all rosey over there...

Man up? Ever considered a position in management?

You come in with a pretty strong opinion for somebody who doesn't even work in the business.

You know as well as I do, that the pilots are not the union. 90% of the pilots sit back and watch. They don't volunteer their time.
We do know 13% of the pilot group could care less.

Honestly, I think the ASA pilots accepted a subpar contract compared to what they could have gotten. Even with their raises, they are still well below Horizon, Republic, Expressjet, Eagle. And now with Pinnacle, Mesa, Horizon, Republic, and a few others starting negotiations, they will be towards the bottom of the totem poll very shortly. I think ASA caved on their TA.
I think (and hope) that Pinnacle will hold out for much better than ASA. How about shooting above Expressjet, or Republic, or maybe even Horizon. A strike would help your chances of achieving these rates.
